Police initiative targets car theft victims

It would appear that the worst of the mountain pine beetle epidemic in the Central Okanagan is over, although the devastating pests are not completely gone. Blair Stewart, with urban forestry for the City of Kelowna, says he’s hopeful that all the city’s efforts to clean up trees before the first flight of beetles every year has helped to ease the pressure locally from the province-wide epidemic. The province’s forest health technician in this area for the ministry of forest operations, Heather Rice, agrees that generally, the mountain pine beetle has moved through the Central Okanagan and is moving into new stands of pines in the south this year. “The epidemic wasn’t as bad in the Okanagan as was predicted,” Rice commented. “As it was building (in the north of the province) the thinking was that we could lose 80 per cent of Mountain pine beetle our pine, but less than 50 larvae per cent has been lost.” It is now moving away from stands which have been attacked by the beetle, and into new stands to the south. Northern B.C. has been devastated by the epidemic, in part because of the largely even-aged, all-pine stands in the northern part of the province, while here most stands are mixed fir and pine with some spruce. As it turns out, Rice said there will be some pine trees left in our mixed stands, and beetle populations are no longer building up here. MPB is a native pest that naturally cycles throughout the province, but because of a series of factors, including milder winters, drought and fire-stressed trees, vast areas of aging pine trees that are vulnerable to attack and man’s suppression of wildfire.

The Kelowna RCMP are asking drivers to lock up their cars to prevent crimes of opportunity to save themselves thousands and police even more. Throughout the Central Okanagan, police are seeing everything from iPads to expensive electronics, wallets and purses left totally unprotected in unlocked vehicles—and this carelessness is fuelling a lucrative industry. More than 1,800 vehicles in the area had items stolen in 2012, largely because these belongings were easy pickings. “At least 70 per cent of target vehicles are unlocked…but we’ve seen it as high was 85 per cent,” said Const. Kris Clark, Kelowna RCMP spokesperson. The culprits are often youth and they’re often drug-addicted, said Clark. But it isn’t the perpetrators so much as the victims police are after. Starting Monday, auxiliary officers will head to hot spots for this sort of crime—beaches and parks—to flag vehicles

Farmers network with restaurateurs Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

It was all about connections—not who you know, but who you don’t know. At an professional development event organized by Tourism Kelowna, chefs, retailers and producers of a wide variety of farm products met and talked about what each could do for the other last week. There were lots of linkages and a few new connections made, though no dollar figure was put on the deals made or the meetings and discussions held over coffee and a samosa in the bright meeting room at Bottega in East Kelowna. Surrounded by farmlands, Bottega’s openness was an appropriate setting for the lettuces, honey, goat cheeses, wines, cider, picnic items, apple juice, hot sauce, lavender and lavender products being offered by the farmers in attendance.

A small crowd gathered around music director Sandra Fletcher as she played the 100-year-old Cathedral Church of St. Michael and All Angels’ pipe organ. As she finished the last note, she turned to discover the crowd—which had grown—applauding her. Fletcher’s demonstration was one part of the St. Michael’s Cathedral heritage tour, which ran Saturday as part of the Anglican church’s 100th anniversary heritage festival. “In a small city like Kelowna, I think we have a bit of a jewel,” said Rev. James Buenting, who led some of Saturday’s tours. According to the church’s website, the first Anglican service in Kelowna was held above Lequime’s Store on Bernard Avenue, May 27, 1894. Limited space quickly became an issue and in 1913 a new building was consecrated at the corner of Sutherland Avenue and Richter Street. Buenting said the building has undergone a few changes since then. One adjustment that occurred about 20 years ago was moving the alter, initially located against

He noted that was done “so the congregation isn’t a spectator, and they feel more a part of the actual worship.” It’s typical for about 200 people to attend a service at St. Michael’s Cathedral, according to Buenting.

“It’s a mixed congregation—many different people from many walks of life.” He described the worship service as “dignified, liturgical, historic and, at the same time, of great relevance for people.” “We’re not caught in the past, but we haven’t discarded it, either.”

The centennial heritage festival also featured live music, artisans at work, buskers and children’s crafts and games. “We just want people to know the doors of the church are open—we’re not a closed society.” wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

West Kelowna condominium last week. Neil Elliott Collins has been charged with multiple counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a prohibited/restricted firearm with ammunition. Police say further charges may also be pending against a 26-yearold West Kelowna man, a 23-year-old Kelowna woman and a 42-year-old West Kelowna woman as a result of the search. On May 23, the Kelowna RCMP Drug Unit, Target Team and Special Enforcement Team completed a month long investigation with the execution of a search warrant at a condo complex located in the 2200 block of Upper Sundance Drive in West Kelowna. The search of the residence was preceded by a trio of traffic stops the previous evening. During the first stop, police arrested two people and seized 21.75 grams of crystal methampheta-

in, 14 morphine pills, 33 grams of methadone and 10 dilaudid tablets. Later, a pair of simultaneous traffic stops resulted in the seizure of over 20 suspected stolen property items including scopes, electronics, air guns, tools and clothing as well as the arrest of both drivers. In carrying out the condo search, in which a fifth person was also arrested, police seized 7.8 ounces of heroin, 4.5 ounces of crystal methamphetamine, 111.6 grams of marihuana bud, 0.03 grams of crack cocaine, 600 millilitres of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), a loaded syringe with suspected heroin, 250 millilitres of liquid codeine, hundreds of various prescription pills, a significant amount of cash and a loaded 9 mm Glock 17 handgun. Police said the prescription pills are suspected to have been stolen recently from a West Kelowna pharmacy.

Second phase of Bernard upgrade is done Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

As expected, the lower stretch of Kelowna’s Bernard Avenue, from Pandosy Street to Water Street, re-opened to traffic late Friday afternoon. And despite the fact the early completion of the second phase of the three-phase, $14-million road revitalization project cost the city an additional $150,000, the city couldn’t be happier. “We knew how important the summer season was to the merchants, so having it completed a month early is great,” said Bill Berry, the city’s head of design and construction services. As part of the contract with the Vernon-based construction company doing the bulk of the construction work on the project, the city will pay out a $150,000 bonus for phase two being completed so far ahead of schedule. The bonus was built into the contract, said Berry, just for the second phase because of the importance of making sure the lower section of Bernard was finished on time. The city gave CGL Contracting Ltd. until the end of June to have the second phase completed and agreed to give the company a bonus of $10,000 per day for every day ahead of June 15 that the work was done. “It was our compromise to make sure the road would be open during July and August,” said Berry. He noted the city heard loud and clear how important those months were to area merchants as that is prime tourist season.

According to the city, the second phase, which followed completion of the stretch of Bernard from Richter Street to St. Paul Street last fall, went totally according to plan. In addition to the much needed co-operation of Mother Nature, Berry said it also helped that company “really cared about the people it was working in front of (the merchants)” and the city’s communications plan for the project worked very well to

keep the merchants and the public informed every step of the way. The city spent an estimated $250,000 extra on this project to implement a communications plan that, so far, has worked well, he said. “There’s so much to be gained from constant

contact with the affected people,” said Berry. “Of course, we always think we do that, but this time an extra effort was made.” The city hired a person to act as a liaison between the contractor and area businesses so any concerns would be addressed immediately.

A 34-year-old West Kelowna man is likely facing multiple charges after a tipster led police to his drivethru dealing hotspot. The alleged drug dealer was trafficking marijuana from his vehicle in the McDonald’s parking lot at 3605 Gellatly Rd. Officers spotted the white Ford F150, with Alberta plates the tip described, at the rear of the restaurant and initiated a traffic stop. A search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of 44 grams of marijuana, $2,410 cash and a pair of brass knuckles. He is now facing charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of a prohibited weapon.

Network from A3 And, the chefs and restaurateurs who browsed took few steps without entering a conversation, so there was lots of talk between those offering products and those looking for something new. The variety and diversity of what’s available in the Okanagan is a reflection of the fact that B.C. has the most diverse agricultural industry in all of Canada, and it’s a fact the top chefs in this region appreciate. One talked about opening his cooler door to a visiting chef from Eastern Canada and said his jaw dropped at what’s available locally. Most local chefs focus on offering their customers dishes prepared using local ingredients that are available in season, so the bounty from these farms is much appreciated, noted another chef. It’s all part of the Farm to Table way of thinking.

It also ran constant messaging saying that despite the road work, Bernard was open for business despite the fact that was limited to pedestrian traffic in the Pandosy to Water Street stretch over the last four months. The third and final stage of the revitalization project will take place this fall and will cover the stretch of Bernard from Pandosy to St. Paul. Originally, the city had planned to finish up the work with minor finishing touches in the spring of 2014 following the three-stage construction but Berry said because of the early completion of the second phase, it now appears all the work may be complete by the end of phase three in November. That third phase is set to start after Labour Day in September.

Beetle attack wavering Beetles from A1 Over the past decade B.C. has seen the worst-ever insect epidemic in its history. Stewart said he is seeing the same situation in the urban forest in the valley bottom as commercial foresters are seeing in timber stands around the valley’s communities. Where at the peak of the epidemic, city crews removed 500 trees from Knox Mountain Park, only 50 had to be removed this year, he noted. In the Glenmore area north of the landfill, crews did take out a lot of trees this year, he said, and there are still some red-attacked trees, or trees in the second year of attack, but there are far fewer this year. Although the insects are only the size of a grain of rice, MPB kills mature lodgepole pine trees in a year, turning the trees from green to red, and then to black or dead as the red needles fall off. He said there are a few pockets in the centre of town where there is still an issue, such as in Lions Park in Rutland, but the city is planting 7,000 seedlings this year in Knox Mountain Park as well as other natural open public spaces, including north of the landfill. Conifers and deciduous trees are also being planted with the assistance of a TD Greenstreets grant of $15,000 which relies on matching funding from the city. On private property, the infestation is also lessening and Stewart said they are receiving far fewer calls from property-owners now. He says they will continue to use the Contech verbenone anti-aggregation pheromone patches to try and protect particular trees from the beetles. They give off a pheromone that tells beetles who are flying to try and find a new tree to infest, that this tree is already full, so they won’t attack it.

RCMP officer rescues drowning woman A 26-year-old Kelowna woman is lucky to be alive after a police officer saved her from drowning in the mire of a Rutland park Saturday evening. Const. Marty Walker was among a search party combing the Rutland flats near McCurdy Road at 11 p.m. when he spotted the young woman struggling in the Chichester Wetland Park bog. He waded into the water to keep her afloat until more rescuers and equipment could arrive. “(She) had apparently purchased some liquor before wandering off, and her family was concerned for her well-being,” said Const. Kris Clark, Kelowna RCMP spokesperson. The family alerted police she might be in danger as the young woman suffers from an alcohol addiction and had walked away from a recovery house in the area.

fanned out across possible routes she might have taken. The officer who found her said the water in the bog was extremely cold and she did not have much fight left when she was found. The woman was taken to hospital with hypothermia-like conditions. “Fortunately her family called when they did as it’s very likely the woman would not have survived much longer, let alone the rest of the night in the frigid waters,” said

Clark.

••• The West Kelowna RCMP are searching for a suspect after a bank was robbed Friday evening. At 7:40 p.m., a man entered the TD Canada Trust, at 525 Highway 97 South, wearing a ski jacket, baseball cap, jeans, sunglasses and a mask. Armed with what appeared to be a canister of bear spray, the suspect jumped over the counter and demanded money from the tellers, fleeing

the scene on an orange bicycle with an undisclosed amount of cash. “I would have to say we average about six (bank robberies) a year,” said Kelowna Const. Kris Clark. “…They are pretty high-profile.” A police service dog tracked the suspect and located a number of clothing items as well as the getaway bike, but the man could not be found. Clark said bear spray is a fairly common weapon of choice and

that, while it may not reduce one’s sentence to use bear spray, as opposed to a knife or gun, anytime a gun is involved it ups the ante come sentencing should the individual arrested be convicted.

New route rolled out for festival parade When the Fat Cat Children’s Festival Parade rolls through the downtown Kelowna streets Saturday, June 8, it will be following a new route. Starting at 10 a.m. on the corner of Richter Street and Cawston Avenue, the parade will wind its way through the neighbourhood of the Cawston corridor, before continuing up to Water Street to finish at Waterfront Park. “We needed to move the parade because of the construction along Bernard Avenue,” explained Dorothee Birker, artistic director for the festival. “So we decided to embrace the opportunity, get creative, because that’s we are all about, and found a lovely way to promote the amazing Cawston corridor.” Ironically, Bernard Avenue is open now, but because of the longer planning timelines festival organizers needed to adhere to, a commitment to the new route was required a month before the festival, said Birker. “We are excited to see how this route works out and would love feed-

Hopefully the residents will enjoy having the parade roll right by their houses, but we know there are impacts to neighbours as well because of the road closures and we thank them for their patience and cooperation,” she said. Flyers identifying the road closures and the

marshalling areas along Coronation Street have already been distributed to the impacted residents and a followup flyer will be sent out again at the beginning of the week. Effectively, Coronation Street, from Richter to Ellis, and Richter, between Clement and Cawston, will be closed from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday while a rolling street

closure will take effect between 9:30 a.m. and noon to allow the floats to pass along Cawston and Water streets. Only commercial trucks will be able to cross Cawston on Ellis with the aid of flaggers. A parade map, with road closures identified, is online at the festival website www.fatcatfestival.ca. For businesses and organizations interested in participating, Birker says there is still time to register. Forms and information are available online or by contacting Birker at 250-860-4911. “Being part of the parade is a great way to show your community spirit and quite honestly, it is so much fun too,” added Birker. “I was so thrilled to receive an email from a mom, Melissa Butler, recently asking if her son could participate in the parade on his bike. “Apparently, William saw the parade last year and has been determined to join it ever since. So we get to make his dream come true…he will be at

the front of the parade, right in between the Kelowna Pipe Band and Fat Cat.” Other kids are encouraged to join William at the head of the parade, Birker added. “Decorate your bike or yourself, bring your friends and family. The Interior Savings Fat Cat Children’s Festival is interactive fun that’s all about having kids actively participate in creating memorable experiences.” The festival takes place at Waterfront Park with School Day on Friday, June 7, and the parade and festival celebration on Saturday. Everyone is invited to fully participate and take in both days of the festival. Admission is $5/person or $15 for a Family of 4. Early Bird Family Passes are now available at any Interior Savings Branch for $10.

NEWS ▼ CRITICALTHOUGHT

The best decisions are made with both the head and heart

ecently, I watched the newest Star Trek film—Into Darkness. After having some time to process it, I reflected on a simple message that has been a constant thread in nearly every Star Trek plot line—the battle between the head and heart when it comes to critical decision-making. Those familiar with Star Trek will recognize that Captain Kirk, the brave risk taker, operates professionally but instinctively and is frequently unable or unwilling to explain his decisions under pressure logically. In contrast. Mr. Spock, being half Vulcan-half human, personifies common sense and analytical thinking, with a few exceptions. Where the two of these characters overlap is when the heart— for Spock, his “human” side—overrules everything else. There is one scene in the movie where Kirk is trying to explain to Spock why he saved him. Of course, Spock does not understand why the captain would make a decision that defied logic and put so many others in danger. In response, Kirk tells Spock to tap into his human half to try to understand. It is a touching moment. What Kirk is saying, without actually saying it, is that acting out of love and friendship can defy reason. There are just some

WORK LIFE

Laurie Mills heart-centric decisions that may never make clear sense and in the end it doesn’t matter. The expression on Spock’s face in this scene reflects his confusion and wonder at such a concept. Most of us are not like Spock. When it comes to making decisions, we experience inner struggles between our head and heart and gut instincts. There is more than pure logic required and it can seem like a battle between making the “right” decision and making the “best” decision. According to personality theory, Carl Jung’s in particular, the way we make decisions is ingrained in us at birth. We will either rely on facts, logic and analysis (our heads) or we will follow an internal compass that points us toward what “feels” like the best thing to do (our heart). When we become more aware of our own decision-making preferences we can also see where they are similar or very different to other people’s choices. The value in this learning is to appreciate our natural strengths and also expand our options by considering a perspective that is not typical for

us. When people share a common preference for a certain decision-making style, there will be more understanding and flow. However, the danger in relying only on the familiar is group-think, where under-developed conclusions are drawn because no one challenges the majority mindset with a differing viewpoint. There are always situations where people are at odds with how they want decisions to be made. At times these animated arguments between the head and the heart/gut can create enough tension to completely stall or undermine decisions that absolutely need to be made. That is not a good situation either. I’ll summarize with reference to another scene from the Star Trek film. Captain Kirk’s decision to save Spock put the Starship and the entire crew in danger. He is disciplined for his actions and severely chastised for ignoring the rules. When it is pointed out that his (perceived) recklessness could have been disastrous Kirk’s frustration is clear. He rationalizes his risk taking because the worst did not happen and offers no remorse or apology. This kind of argument is a common pattern of Kirk’s behaviour that Star Trek fans will recognize. Kirk consistently operates on gut instinct when the going gets tough; it is Spock’s unfailingly logical charac-

▼ OUR VIEW

No easy options for Clark

n the heels of her party’s decisive election victory, the B.C. Liberal leader’s unheralded celebration was tempered by the loss of her own right-wing-friendly Vancouver-Point Grey riding to New Democrat David Eby. It is open to conjecture whether her failure to win in her borrowed provincial riding—hand-picked when former premier Gordon Campbell resigned mid-term—was a statement against Clark, against her party, for Eby, for his party, or

a combination of these factors, vote splitting, apathy and more. Regardless, Clark must now find a ‘safe’ riding in which to run. And this is where voters’ exacerbated distrust of politicians—all politicians—will make this a tougher sell, regardless of how friendly the riding is. It will require one of 50 election-night victors from among her party faithful to resign, telling voters “thanks but no thanks” just days after coming to us cap in hand. It will also require Clark to

tell these same voters she unabashedly counts on their support, despite, presumably, spending little time in their riding before now. Some suggest Clark’s focus is on South Surrey’s three ridings—Surrey-Cloverdale, Surrey-White Rock and Surrey-Panorama—where each of her B.C. Liberals earned more votes than all challengers combined. Any of these three, however, would mean Clark would be willing to unseat individuals with whom voters have formed

a relationship over time One can only imagine voters’ reaction if Clark tried to strong-arm her way in, even if the chosen candidate shamelessly tries to convince us she/he is on board. While some may have voted for the winning candidate solely because of Clark’s leadership, a great many more did so because they feared a left-leaning government—for them, the greater of two evils. Now that this fear has evaporated, these votes, too, are up in the air.

own, and regularly use, an LG flip phone. Certain readers might not wince at that statement, but many— some of whom are reading this on their iPhone—understand flip phones are only a slight improvement from the Zack Morris cell phones of the early ’90s. Being a reporter, my choice of mobile device has given me a fair share of challenges. This became blatantly obvious

WADING when I was covering fire in Joe Rich last IN asummer.

Upon arrival I interviewed a woman who was one of the first to witness the blaze. Following the interWADE PATERSON view, I watched as she leaned out her driver-side window and snapped eight-megapixel photos with her iPhone. Knowing that my 0.3 megapixel camera wouldn’t produce newspaper—or even website—quality, I sheepishly asked her a post-interview

question. “Umm, do you mind e-mailing some of those pictures to our newsroom?” I am fully aware of the benefits that come with having a smart phone; it probably won’t be long until I give in and become the owner of one, myself. But last Wednesday evening, I was reminded of one reason to be thankful for my primitive technology. Like the 20,000 fans in the United Center, I watched unlikely overtime hero Brent Seabrook send a snap shot past Jimmy Howard to propel the Chicago Blackhawks into the third

round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. What amazed me was what CBC cameras captured moments after the goal. The sequence of events went something like this: The red goal light turned on, United Center fans leaped to their feet while cheering, they highfived those sitting near them, they looked up at the scoreboard, they realized something, they reached into their pockets, they pulled out their smart phones, they took photos of the Blawkhawks’ celebration, they took photos of their friends giving thumbs up, they took “selfie” photos with their own thumb up, they tweet-

ed, “Hawks Win! This place is nuts #wewantcup #livingthe dream #imhere,” they texted their friends, “Did you see that goal? This is crazy! Did you know I’m here?” they updated their Facebook statuses, “Just witnessed the Hawks make history! Can’t believe I’m here for this!” By the time they glanced up the teams had already shook hands and were skating off the ice; when they glanced back down they saw they’d already gotten two likes on their new status.

PET GROOMING

▼ MENTAL HEALTH CARE

Dismissive attitude to treatment must stop Michelle Fortin CONTRIBUTOR

We don’t talk about the real threats to our children. Most parents worry when their children begin driving. They warn teens about the risks. In 2011, despite that care and concern, 291 British Columbians died in car crashes. That same year, 526 people took their own lives—80 per cent more than those killed in car crashes. Road crashes don’t come close to taking the toll of mental illness and problem substance use. Why don’t we, as a society, urge parents to have serious talks with their children about those risks? Stigma, in part. No one tells cancer patients to buck up and wish their infirmities away. But people with mental illness rou-

tinely face prejudice and a dismissive attitude. People who have an obvious illness tend to get help. At the least, emergency rooms provide urgent care. Those with a mental illness and substance abuse issues face a much tougher reality. Joshua Beharry wrote about his experiences in the Vancouver Sun last month. In 2009, at 22, he went to a hospital emergency ward because months of depression had left him increasingly suicidal. “I spoke to an emergency room doctor and a psychiatric nurse,” he wrote. “They asked if I had a plan to kill myself.” People are only admitted if they have mapped out a specific plan to take their own lives, he learned. “I didn’t have a plan so I went home,” Beharry recalled. And a month later, he tried to kill himself.

The ER staff aren’t at fault. They send people away because there are no treatment spaces. The community social services sector plays a huge role in addressing mental illness and substance abuse. But every day, we turn people away, or place them on long waitlists. Budget freezes and cuts and a lack of integrated responses have created a crisis. The cost is enormous. A 2010 study estimated the cost to the economy due to lost work days was $50 billion a year. Add the damage to families, the costs of homelessness and health care and the total rises sharply. Former senator Michael Kirby, the first chair of the Mental Health Commission of Canada, noted that mental health and substance use represent about 35 per cent of the disease burden in Canada, yet receive about five per cent of the resources.

Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond noted this year that lack of political leadership has left this province with a fragmented, inadequate system of supports for youth facing mental illness. A new government has the chance to address these serious problems, providing leadership, adequate resources and a collaboration strategy linking health and the social services sectors. We should make sure that mental health and problem substance use services step out of the shadows. Michelle Fortin is the executive director of Watari Youth, Family and Community Services and the chair of B.C. ASAP— Addiction Specialists and Allied Professionals. She wrote this article on behalf of the Roundtable of Provincial Social Services Organizations.

Thoughtful driver CropLife president says food thanked for helping standards not compromised out another in need ▼ LETTERS

To the editor: Re: Local residents ask to join worldwide march (Capital News, May 23, 2013). It concerns me to read that some people are worried about the safety of genetically modified foods that they have taken to the streets. I’d like to add to the conversation by providing some information that these people may not be aware of, but which may help relieve their concerns. Canadians have access to one of the safest and most abundant food supplies in the world. All crops, including crops that have been genetically modified, are subject to Canada’s strict regulatory standards. Extensive safety reviews are completed by the Canadian Food In-

spection Agency (CFIA) and Health Canada to ensure all crops are safe for people, animals and the environment. Crops improved through modern plant breeding enjoy a remarkable food safety record, having been grown for well over a decade and eaten by billions of people worldwide. In fact, regulatory agencies around the world as well as highly regarded international organizations like the World Health Organization, have all endorsed the safety of these enhanced crops. Canadian farmers choose to grow genetically improved varieties of corn, canola, soybeans and other crops because they offer many benefits, including increased yields and improved pest control.

This is good for farmers but also benefits the environment by allowing farmers to grow more food on less land and leaving valuable green spaces and wildlife intact. Farmers are also able to minimize or even eliminate tilling the soil to control weeds, which enriches the soil and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Consumers benefit at the grocery store by having safe food that’s affordable with the help of plant biotechnology, Canadians save almost 60 per cent on their grocery bills. For more information I would encourage readers to visit our website at www.croplife.ca as well as Health Canada’s website for more information. Lorne Hepworth president, CropLife Canada

So busy texting we miss living life in front of us Paterson from A10 It may seem like I’m exaggerating, but as the cameras scanned the audience nearly half of those in attendance—including Blawkhawks’ general manager Stan Bowman— were staring at their smart phone screens.

Being a reporter, I understand the appeal of being first to inform others about substantial information. But my reluctance to pull out a slightly embarrassing flip phone has taught me sometimes it’s better to soak in an experience before telling the

world about it. And I’m sure all the Facebook friends and Twitter followers won’t mind—they were probably already informed by several others. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

To the editor: I was driving south on Pandosy Avenue last Monday after work when somebody behind me kept beeping their horn at me. When I stopped for a red light I got out and asked the young driver in a Navy Toyota pickup I WAS IMPRESSED truck if there was a reason for beeping. BY THIS YOUNG He pointed at my right MAN’S GRACIOUS rear tire and said that I had OFFER AND a flat. I thanked him and HIS GREAT got back in my car and turned the right corner ATTITUDE… and stopped, wondering what to do next. I saw the young man also had turned and parked behind me. I got out and asked him whether he might have an iPhone that I could use to look up a phone number of a tow truck. He replied he had not, but he would change my tire for me quickly, no problem. So he did. I was impressed by this young man’s gracious offer and his great attitude helping this old lady out without a second thought. He made by day—no, my week! I failed to ask his name but he said he works for Rayburn’s Marine, so this is my way of saying thanks, from Johanna, the lady in the silver Nissan Versa. Johanna Van Zanten, Kelowna

How would you like to receive $2,000 tax free? Take advantage of simple strategies to turn taxable income into non taxable income. Talk to a life insurance advisor about Life Insurance GIC’s—the interest rate paid is comparable to financial institutions. The interest earned from an insurance GIC is considered eligible pension income. Invest sufficient principal to pay out an annual payment of $2,000 interest income to benefit from the pension credit. Life insurance GIC’s allow you to name beneficiaries to bypass probate—another huge benefit over traditional bank GICs. Transfer a portion of your RRSP to a RRIF and withdraw $2,000 each year in RRIF income from age 65 to age 71 (inclusive). Transfer Locked in Retirement Income (LIRA) to a Life Income Fund (LIF) and then annuitize the proceeds. Transfer of Unused Credit to a Spouse; if one spouse is earning pension income in excess of $2,000 and the other spouse it not utilizing his or her pension income credit, consider this spousal transfer. Even if you do not need the income during this 6 year period of time, redeem the $2,000 amount; if you don’t use it you will lose it. The annual amount of $2,000 is your money being returned to you, but it is tax free and you do not want to miss out on tax free money. You can save thousands of dollars in tax using the pension tax credit. The Pension Income Tax credit information is available through Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Check out the website

NEWS ▼ WORKFORCE

SNC’s amnesty likely to drive employees underground I f there’s a Canadian name in the news for the wrong reasons— more frequently than Toronto Mayor Rob Ford— these days, it has to be SNC-Lavalin. The huge Montreal-based engineering firm seems to be hit every week by new allegations of bribery, fraud and generally unsavoury business dealings. SNC has now announced a short “amnesty” for employee whistleblowers. It says it won’t seek damages or unilaterally fire employees who (between June 3 and Aug, 31) report violations of its code of ethics.

YOU WORK HERE

Robert Smithson SNC stated: “While the vast majority of SNCLavalin’s employees will have nothing to report, this offer of amnesty will allow us to uncover and quickly deal with any remaining issues. Our goal is to turn the page on a challenging chapter in the company’s history…” SNC, for those who haven’t tuned in to the news in the past five

years, is acquiring a reputation for engaging in, shall I say, questionable business practices. It is undergoing both internal and police investigations (in Canada and abroad) on alleged fraud and corrupt practices by former employees. It has been barred from bidding on World Bank Group-financed projects as a result of allegations of bribery on a bridge deal in Bangladesh. Its former chief executive officer and another top executive are faced with fraud charges arising from the contract to build the multi-billion dollar McGill University Health

Centre in Montreal. Individuals connected with SNC have been arrested on suspicion of corruption, fraud and money laundering in North Africa and Asia. An internal investigation at SNC in 2012 revealed tens of millions of dollars paid to undisclosed agents connected with the company’s massive construction and pipeline operations in Libya. SNC’s Canadian offices have been raided by the RCMP in relation to a corruption probe into a bridge project in Bangladesh. SNC’s name was connected with a Canadian

consultant who was jailed in Mexico on allegations of masterminding a plot to smuggle members of Libya’s Gadhafi family out of that country. Executives of SNC have been known for their intimate ties to the Gadhafi family. It was recently revealed that SNC offered one of Gadhafi’s socalled “playboy” sons a six-figure salary to be a vice-president, although it’s not apparent precisely what functions he would have performed. He also happened to have been a top public official in Libya with oversight of the granting of billions of dollars in engineering projects. Currently, the RCMP is investigating a number of SNC employees in relation to the establishment of a secret internal accounting system to facilitate the payment of bribes of public officials in Africa and Asia. Based on what former employees have said, the payment of bribes by SNC in the course of ob-

taining building projects appears to have been routine and systematic. In the midst of all this mayhem, SNC has announced its so-called “amnesty” for employees who voluntarily report wrongdoing. Are they serious? Do they really think anyone is going to risk his or her employment future by participating? First, it’s important to understand what the socalled amnesty entails. SNC has said it “won’t seek damages or unilaterally fire employees” who voluntarily report violations. There are gaps in that language large enough to drive a truck through. SNC might not “seek damages” but that doesn’t mean, for instance, that it wouldn’t hand the information over to police who could use if for the purpose of prosecuting an employee. And what does “won’t …unilaterally fire” mean? Does it mean that, for instance, if advised by a regulatory body that the

whistleblowing SNC employee had engaged in wrongdoing, it might “co-operatively fire” him or her? Second, SNC has qualified the amnesty by saying it won’t cover for anyone who directly profited from a violation. The phrase “directly profited” is, of course, open to a wide range of interpretations. Does being paid a salary or commissions or bonuses while going along with a systematic bribery scheme amount to directly profiting? Or does one have to have actually received a bag of unmarked small bills from the son of an African dictator to have directly profited? Third, isn’t the whole point of an amnesty that —in exchange for their co-operation—guilty parties are shielded from repercussions for their actions? What exactly is an “amnesty” which doesn’t result in the pardon of someone who has profited from a violation? Coincidentally, I heard a CBC Radio story last week about police offering an “amnesty” to people who turn in unregistered weapons. These sorts of programs are, of course, designed to get unregistered and illegal weapons off the streets. But, the police officer made it plain that police would be immediately checking registration numbers and doing finger-printing to determine whether the guns had ever been used in the commission of a crime. That made me wonder: “Which part of this program amounts to an amnesty and who would be foolish enough to participate?” The sum total of all this is that SNC’s socalled “amnesty” likely isn’t going to attract many participants. Anyone worried about keeping his or her job—or staying out of prison—is more likely to just stay under the radar. And, really, who could blame them? I’d suggest that any employee would be wise to hire a lawyer before participating in SNC’s scheme. Robert Smithson is a labour and employment lawyer, operating Smithson Employment Law.

Volunteer’s 30 years of service saluted The Canadian Red Cross presented Joan Bailey with a long-service award last Saturday to acknowledge her 30 years of dedicated service to the community. Bailey started volunteering with Red Cross in 1983 and now maintains a weekly shift with the health equipment loan program. “I really enjoy meeting and helping others,” said 83-year-old Bailey. Red Cross also recognized more than 50 other

volunteers for their long and exceptional service. Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan was on-hand Saturday to thank the volunteers and personally present the federal government donation to Red Cross of $50,255 announced earlier last week. Red Cross Building for Humanity campaign chair, Anna Hunt-Binkley, and honourary chair, Sharon Shepherd, handed out the awards. “The government of Canada funding will help

us improve the Red Cross training room and reach our goal of doubling our volunteer base from 500 to more than 1,000,” said Hunt-Binkley. “Over the past year, Red Cross volunteers have responded in Williams Lake, Sicamous, Westbridge, Johnson’s Landing, Vernon, and Kelowna and I’m honoured to recognize their dedication and commitment today and for the next 30 years.” Thanks to the thou-

sands of volunteers across Canada who dedicate their time and talents to train extensively and respond, Red Cross is able to keep administration costs low and provide assistance free-of-charge to those impacted by disasters. Red Cross aid does not duplicate assistance provided through insurance, government or other agencies. The Building for Humanity campaign aims to raise $3 million to sup-

port the B.C. Southern Interior’s first, full-service Support and Disaster Operations Centre in Kelowna. Red Cross services also rely on the generous financial support of individual and corporate donors. The Building for Humanity campaign runs through the end of 2013.

Tips on how to eat a healthy, balanced diet

ating well involves eating a balanced diet to help you meet your needs for vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, and to reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes certain types of cancer, osteoporosis and obesity. Eating well contributes to your overall health and vitality. The Canada Food Guide provides the best example on how to eat healthy including all four food groups. The daily requirements for men and women 50+ include seven servings of vegetables and fruit, six to seven servings of grain products, three servings of milk and milk alternatives, and two to three servings of meat and alternatives. It may sound like a lot of food, but a normal serving size may surprise you.

FITNESS FOR SENIORS

Bobbi Kittle For example, one serving of fresh vegetables or fruit is 1/2 cup or 1/2 cup of fruit juice. One serving of grain products includes one slice of bread or 1/2 cup of cooked rice or pasta. One serving of milk or milk alternatives can be one cup of milk or soy beverage or 1 1/2 ounce cheese. One serving of meat and meat alternatives can look like 1/2 cup poultry or lean meat or two tablespoons of peanut butter. Choose to eat a variety of foods from each food group and limit processed and packaged foods. Choosing grain products that are lower in fat sugar and salt, such as whole grain breads, barley, brown rice, oats, quinoa and wild rice.

Go for dark green vegetables like broccoli spinach and Romaine lettuce, orange vegetables like carrots sweet potatoes and squash. Also, aim to choose lower fat dairy products. Drink two cups of milk every day for adequate vitamin D. Choose lean meat and alternatives such as chicken, salmon, beans lentils and tofu. Bake, roast or poach with little or no added fat. Try to avoid luncheon meat sausage and prepackaged meats. Compare nutritional facts on food labels to choose products that contain less fat, saturated fat, trans fat, sugar and sodium. In addition to smaller portions, you can boost the nutritional value of your meal simply by making these simple swaps. Swap a side of garlic cheese toast for additional bell peppers, broccoli, or peas in your meal. Swap mashed potatoes for a bed of spinach

or other leafy greens. Swap a stir-fry or fried rice for steamed vegetables and chicken, fish or shrimp with steamed brown. Swap alfredo or pesto sauce for marinara. Swap out half of your pasta for additional fresh tomatoes and green vegetables such as asparagus, zucchini, broccoli or celery And don’t forget to drink enough water. Along with following a healthy diet, seniors over the age of 50 should supplement with a daily vitamin D and calcium. The Canada Food Guide also offers a food guide tracker to help you keep track of your servings and diet. For more information about the Canada Food Guide, check out www. healthcanada.gc.ca/food.

Young Falcons soar into new WCL season Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

WARREN HENDERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

NEW HEAD coach Geoff White addresses members of the Kelowna Falcons prior to the West Coast League club’s first workout on Monday at Elks Stadium.

Unlike Kelowna Falcons teams of the past several seasons, the West Coast League club’s roster this year won’t be predominantly made up of NCAA Division 1 players. In 2013, new head coach Geoff White will have a vast and varied concoction of players from both Div. 1 and Div. 2 schools, as well as community and junior colleges from across North America. “We’ve gone a bit of a different route, we have more of a mix of players from a lot of different places,” said White, who took over as coach of the Falcons in October. “We’ll have seven or eight guys from Div. 1, and then a nice blend of junior college and Div. 2 guys. It should be a good mix.” Even with considerably less Div. 1 talent than usual on the roster, White isn’t concerned about fielding a competitive team—even if the Falcons

‘‘

I THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE FINE TALENT-WISE. WE ARE GOING TO BE PRETTY YOUNG, WE HAVE A LOT OF FIRST-YEAR GUYS… Geoff White

will also be a relatively young ball club. “I think we’re going to be fine talent-wise,” said White, a Kelowna native who previously coached the Falcons on an interim basis. “We are going to be pretty young, we have a lot of first-year guys, but that’s OK, too. What that means is, a lot of them have played a lot of baseball in places like Div. 2, maybe 40 or 50 games, so they should come in here ready to go.” White and Falcons GM Mark Nonis have put together a roster of about 35 players, with an emphasis on offensive power. The club will feature

a hard-hitting catcher in Nolan Johnson from Minnesota State, who recently played in the NCAA Div. 2 World Series. Chandler Tracy, a 6-foot-3 outfielder from St. Martin’s University in Washington hit 12 home runs and batted .301, is also expected to add punch to the middle of the order. “We have a lot of big dudes coming in here with power,” White said. White is also high on Nate Robertson, a 6-foot3, 210-pound shortstop from Colorado-Mesa University who hit .381 this spring with 41 RBIs. “I’m excited to be here,” said Robertson, 20, from Montrose, AZ. “I just want to put in a good summer, continually get better, work hard and help this team win some games.” One player who may be familiar to Kelowna fans is Tanner Morache, who played with the Okanagan Athletics in 2010. The third-baseman from Surrey hit .390 this season at Southern Idaho.

As for the pitching staff, White is playing a wait-and-see approach as only Preston Gray returns from last year’s team. “We have a whole new group and it might be our biggest question mark right now,” he said. “We have some guys with some good numbers so we’ll find out what they can do.” The Falcons do have a highly-touted pitcher on their roster in Elliot Morris, a 6-foot-4 right-hander from Pierce Community College. However, if he is selected, as expected, in the first five rounds of this week’s Major League White said there is a strong chance Morris may sign a pro contract and not report to Kelowna. The Falcons open the new season on the road on Wednesday against the newest franchise, the Victoria Harbourcats, to start a three-game series. The Falcons’ traditional free home opener is Saturday at Elks Stadium against the Bend Elks. First pitch is 6:35 p.m.

KSS Owls a solid 6th at provincial rugby finals The Kelowna Owls equalled their best finish in recent history with a sixth-place showing at the 2013 B.C. School Sports high school boys AAA rugby finals. KSS qualified for Saturday’s 5th/6th place final in Abbotsford where they went down to defeat to West Vancouver 18-5. The Owls were competitive in the game from start to finish, but failed to capitalize on key scoring opportunities. KSS also lost two key players to injury in their last game—Ryan Lawson (shoulder) and

Liam McGoran (ankle). “We scored first and looked pretty good early, but we ran into injury trouble and couldn’t score when we needed to,” said Owls coach Dave Marfleet. “On a different day the result might have been different.” The Owls, who also finished sixth in 2010, won their first round match 66-3 over Sardis a week earlier in Kelowna to qualify for the top eight. In the quarterfinals Thursday, the Owls met their match against the Yale Lions who downed

fifth-ranked Kelowna 18-3. Yale also defeated KSS in exhibition play this spring. In their second playoff game on Friday, in one of their better efforts of the season, the Owls downed No. 8 Oak Bay a 14-10 score, as KSS rebounded from a 10-0 deficit. All in all, Marfleet was happy with his team’s play and thrilled with the progression of rugby at KSS over the last five years. “It was awesome for us to be in the five-six game with a chance to have our best finish,” he said. “For an Okanagan school to be ranked

Oak Bay has been one of those powerhouses for a lot of years, so to beat them is another accomplishment for our rugby.” Owls’ senior and prop Matt Steen was named to the Commissioner’s 15 team, which recognizes the top players in the tournament.

THE IMMACULATA Mustangs celebrate the B.C. School Sports A soccer title on Saturday in Trail/Rossland.

T:7”

If there is such a thing as a perfect season, the Immaculata Mustangs girls soccer squad wasn’t far from achieving exactly that in 2013. After winning the city, valley and B.C. Catholic titles, the Mustangs capped off a dream year with a golden effort at the provincial A girls championship in Trail. On Saturday, Immaculata needed extra time to defeat Southridge from Surrey 2-1 in the B.C. championship game. After Jaedyn Penkala scored to give the Mustangs a 1-nil lead in the 27th minute, Southridge responded soon after to tie the game 1-1. A scoreless second half sent the teams to extra time where, at 86 minutes, Olivia Johnson drilled the go-ahead goal past the Southridge keeper. Immaculata hung for the final nine minutes to claim the gold medal, the school’s fourth in girls’ soccer and first since 2009. “The most impressive aspects about the Mustangs this season were the ability to step up their game in big situations, and that there was not one ‘star’ player on the team,” said Mustangs coach Paul Freire. “A different person seemed to step up on every occasion to secure big goals, make big saves, or big defensive stands all season long.” Immaculata blew through the round robin portion of the tournament, winning all three games by the maximum 5-0 scores. In the semifinal, the Mustangs defeated rival Glenlyon Norfolk 2-1. Again, Olivia Johnson provided the key goal, intercepting a pass and scoring late in the second half to give the Mustangs the lead. Emma Johnson then set up Jaedyn Penkala with an insurance goal to send Immaculata on to the final with a 3-1 win. It was the eighth time in eight years since the program’s inception that the Mustangs made it at least as far as the semifinal. Immaculata’s Emma Johnson was named the tournament’s MVP, while Olivia Johnson was

first-place Raiders within range in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League. On Saturday at Wesbild Centre, Jordan Orr had two goals and nine points as the Tigers outscored the Raiders 15-9. Patrick McMillan scored a hat-trick in the loss, while Andrew Mc-

Millan and Evan Helgesen each scored twice. The Tigers held league-leading scorer Brendan Urban to just two points. Two nights earlier, Urban had eight goals and 11 points as the Raiders beat the Tigers 14-10 in Kelowna. The Raiders (8-1-1) now lead the Tigers (7-2-

0) by three points for top spot. The Raiders have six games remaining the regular season. Kelowna returns to action Thursday as they Arnstrong Shamrocks pay a visit to Memorial Arena.

SENIOR RAIDERS…

The Armstrong Shamrocks defeated the Ke-

lowna Raiders for the first time in the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League season scoring a 14-9 victory Friday at the Nor-Val Centre. Joe Brown scored four times in the loss for the Raiders who were undermanned due suspensions to Jordan Innes and Taylor Trotter, and injuries

to Kyle MacLennan and Darcy Leach. Braden Renner, Darren Lornson, Jacob Illichmann, Matt Gorges and Ryan Sage scored singles for the Raiders, now 3-3 on the season. On Friday night, the Raiders will visit Kamloops.

Cameron closes T’Bird career tied for 7th Haley Cameron closed out a stellar final season of university golf with a top-10 finish in Montreal. The 22-year-old from Kelowna tied for seventh last weekend at the Canadian University Championships which wrapped up on Friday. In her fourth and final season with the Univer-

sity of British Columbia, Cameron played as an individual at nationals and carded a four round score 24-over par 308 (73-7980-76) at the Val des Lacs Golf Club. As a team, the Thunderbirds were unable to defend their Canadian championship, finishing in third place. “Our team got off to a

rough start, but we fought back hard in the final two rounds and posted the low team total on the final day which made for a more satisfying finish,” Cameron said. “Regardless of the result it was such a fun week.” It was Cameron’s third consecutive strong outing in playoff competition for the T’Birds this spring.

At the NAIA regionals in Texas last month, the KSS grad finished in second place. Three weeks later, Cameron was fourth overall at the NAIA national championship in Lincoln, Nebraska. Last week, she was named an NAIA secondteam all-American. Meanwhile, two other

Kelowna golfers competed at the Canadian championships in Montreal— Emily Nicol, of the Victoria Vikes was 16th overall at 318 (80-75-7885), while Jen Woods, closing out her UBC Okanagan career, missed the cut despite shooting a solid 74 in the third round.

Kelowna foursome fit in Florida A intensive, fivemonth training program paid dividends for four Kelowna women who recently competed at an international fitness event in the U.S. Carly Mitchell, Claire Yasinski, Anne Girtz and Kristen Olychuk combined for 21 medals at the Tri Fitness World Challenge mid-May in Florida. The training was intense and focused on developing their overall athletics as the girls were required to bench press, box jump, shuttle run, run the obstacle course, do a fitness routine showcasing their strength and flexibility, as well as competing in Grace & Physique. Mitchell, who trained the team for the competi-

tion at VO2Max Personal Training, placed second in the Fitness Model Division and seventh overall for Tri Fitness. She was also entered into the Tri Fitness Hall of Fame for running the course in 58 seconds. Both Olychuk and Yasinski placed first in their age categories for Fitness Skills and Obstacle Course, respectively. For their first time attending the event, the show’s founder, Al Rosen was very impressed with how well prepared the team was, especially considering the lack of obstacles to train on. “The obstacle course was so fun,” Yasinski said with a laugh. “I wanted to run it again right after

I finished. I felt like a kid on a playground again.” “We’re looking forward to going again next year and seeing if we can improve our personal best times,” Mitchell added. “It’s an amazing feeling of accomplishment and pride to compete in an event like this! It’s so inspiring to see everyone from all ages and walks of life doing something like this and seeing the changes and improvements that my own team has made along the way.” Training will begin again in the fall so for anyone looking for more info on Tri Fitness or the please contact Carly at 250-826-8809 or email carly@vo2maxpersonaltraining.com

Two ‘big’ signings for Okanagan Sun

CONTRIBUTED

THEO DEEZAR, a 6-foot-5 quarterback from Winnipeg, has committed to the Okanagan Sun for the 2013 season.

The Okanagan Sun got a lot bigger and, in the estimation of head coach Shane Beatty, a whole lot better with the commitments of two more Winnipeg products for the 2013 BCFC season. Six-foot-five quarterback Theo Deezar and 6-foot-6 receiver Zach Regert will both be in Kelowna next month for the Okanagan Sun’s main training camp. Deezar, a redshirt last season at the University of Manitoba, was one of the most sought after pivots across the west this spring, including by the rival Vancouver Island Raiders. Deezar led his high school team, St. Paul’s to the Manitoba title in 2011. “Theo is a huge signing for us,” said coach Shane Beatty. “He is a 6-foot-5, 225-pound quarterback who has the arm strength to throw the ball on all the routes anywhere on the field. “ Deezar is the second grad of the prestigious private Catholic school to join the club this season, joining linebacker Lucas Machado who committed to the Sun earlier this spring. Deezar had moved up to No. 2 on the Manitoba depth chart this season, but opted for junior football in Kelowna. Beatty feels his club is fortunate to have locked up Deezar. “He had a great camp

Zach Regert at the University of Manitoba last month,” Beatty said. “They really wanted him to stay there. I understand he was pushing hard, he was pushing (Jordan) Yantz hard there. I’m just really, really happy to get him.

“Theo is going to have the opportunity to come in here and fight for the number one position,” Beatty added. Deezar, 19, looks forward to playing a key role with the Sun. “Anytime you come to a team you have to battle to earn a position. I`m just going to come in and compete to prove what kind of quarterback I am,” Deezar said. “I will see where I stand after this season.” One of Deezar’s big targets could be Regert, a 6-foot-6, 235-pound receiver, who was redshirt for the University of Manitoba last season, af-

ter playing at Sturgeon Heights Collegiate in Winnipeg in 2011. In his final year go high school, Regert made 35 catches for 639 yards and 11 touchdowns. Regert, who attended the club’s spring camp last month, was impressed by both the team and the city. “It’s beautiful and unbelievable,” he said. “The Sun is a great overall fit for me. It’s a great program with great tradition.” Regert, 18, would be one of the tallest receivers ever to play for the orange and brown in the club’s 32-year history. The Sun’s main training camp begins July 5.

Never leave pets unattended in your vehicle in warm weather The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with partly open windows, can rapidly reach a level high enough to seriously harm or even kill your pet. Dogs cool themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws. The hot air and upholstery in vehicles prevents dogs from cooling themselves. In as little as 10 minutes your vehicle can reach temperatures which can seriously harm your pet.

PETS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

PEANUT ADULT AMERICAN RABBIT NEUTERED MALE

Peanut was surrendered to the Shelter with his girlfriend Vanilla. He is neutered now, and a bigger bunny with an every bigger personality. He is energetic, loves his timothy hay, lettuce, enjoys being petted, but could benefit from a lot more interaction with his new family. BOTH rabbits will need to go together and cannot be kept in an outdoor area without a lot of affection and attention shown to them. If you have the ideal home for these bunnies, come down and meet them.

ADULT GERMAN SHEPHERD/ PIT BULL TERRIER X NEUTERED MALE

Dash is a good looking dog who would love to find his forever home. His background is unknown to us but we have observed him to be a friendly boy, who hasn’t had much exposure to other dogs. If you currently have a dog it is imperative that you bring them and your entire family with you when meeting Dash. He is excellent on leash, very easy to walk and would make a perfect companion in the right household.

Thane was brought to the shelter hoping to find his forever home. His background is unknown, his original home must not have been good, as he shy, but is coming out of his shell and showing a new level of confidence. He would be a wonderful cat for a small quiet family who likes a calm, snuggly lapcat. I enjoy the company of other felines and affection from anybody (especially chin scratches). Please ask the staff for an introduction.

JUST LAUNCHED!

ADULT BORDER COLLIE/ GERM AN SHEP X SPAYED FEMALE

These 3 sisters are very close and would love to stay together. They are very social animals & don’t do well on their own. They are friendly, love being handled, and when we aren’t playing in our dust bath, we’re rolling in our wheel...we love that thing. Please do your research on the breed so you can provide the best home possible for these little cuties.

If you see a dog in a car on a warm or humid day who you believe may be in trouble, ask stores to page customers. If the dog is in distress call your local SPCA, animal control or police immediately.

Flash came in with Dash, so again no background or history on him. He is friendly and very very strong. Our dog walkers say he is excellent on leash, but was a bit excitable on the trail when encountering a horse. He loves to romp in the yard, enjoys the company of anyone who comes to visit and would love to be a permanent member of your family. Ask our staff for a one-on-one meeting with him.

ADULT AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD X NEUTERED MALE

Rocky came in as a stray and is now ready for his new loving home. He has quickly become a fav of our dog walkers and even though his is deaf it will not deter him from becoming an excellent addition to your family. He walks well on harness, loves people and long walks. If you are considering adopting him, please do your research on communicating with deaf canines. He responds to some hand signals so has had some training in his past. Come & meet him, you will be in awe.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen wedding food June is traditionally wedding month, although since it’s the wettest month of the year in the Okanagan, I certainly hope you’re not planning an outdoor one here in June! If June is a favoured month for weddings, it must see a lot of anniversaries too, and these appies would do just as well to celebrate an anniversary as a wedding. I remember as a kid, watching in amazement as my folks sorted through the garbage out on the patio, still in their best duds, after their friends had all headed home from their silver anniversary party, because a number of the silver forks and spoons were missing. Apparently, they’d accidentally been scraped off the plates into the garbage. So, I’m a big fan of serving food at such parties that doesn’t require cutlery. Cleanup is easier too, of course. Now, all you have to worry about is a gift for the happy couple. Why not send them off to a cooking class together? I love Indian food, so I took one taught by Jas Dosanj of Poppadom’s and it was simply fabulous. Great fun; great food; and I learned lots. Several family members just returned from a tour of India where they gathered all kinds of ideas for new recipes, so watch for fresh dishes every time you go. Incidentally, a terrific wine to accompany your curries is Intrigue Wines’ 12, which is a blend that tells the story of the 2012 harvest year. It’s riesling, gewurztraminer, pinot gris and muscat canelli grape varietals and is a fruity but refreshing wine that’s smooth and beautifully balanced. It’s great for just sipping too. Jas is also doing some specialty classes, including one this month called Gluten-free India. It’s Sun., Jun. 16, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., so you need to register right away, at Poppadoms.ca/classes or by calling them at 778753-5563. If too few register, it may not run. There are a couple of great Indian-inspired recipes in my book, Jude’s Kitchen, which is available wherever books are sold.

Spot Prawns with Lemon & Tarragon

If you leave the tips of the tails on, they make fine handles, so you wouldn’t need cutlery, or each could be skewered with a toothpick to reduce the need for cutlery. You can double this to serve more people. You should still be able to get fresh B.C. spot prawns at local fish shops. 1 lb. (454 g) poached spot prawns

DRIZZLE:

2 green onions 2 tsp. (10 ml) fresh tarragon 2 tsp. (10 ml) Dijon mustard 1 tbsp. (15 ml) fresh lemon juice 2 tsp. (10 ml) tarragon vinegar 1/4 c. (60 ml) olive oil

coarse sea salt, to taste fresh-ground black pepper fresh tarragon leaves, to garnish

Poach the prawns in lemony water with whole peppercorns, a coarsely chopped onion and a bay leaf. Drain and cool. Mince the green onions and tarragon and mix together in a small bowl or jug, along with the mustard, lemon juice and vinegar. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle this over the cold, poached, shelled prawns, and garnish with a few leaves of fresh tarragon.

Lettuce Cups with Ginger Pork, Chili Sauce & Mint

These crisp, refreshing little bites are full of flavour and make great finger food. No cutlery is needed, though a plate would probably be nice. These can be as small, or large, as the lettuce cups you use. baby lettuce leaves, for the cups

FILLING:

1/2 c. (125 ml) zucchini 1/4 c. (60 ml) red pepper 4 green onions 1 clove garlic 1 tbsp. (15 ml) minced ginger drizzle of oil 1/2 lb. (227 g) lean ground pork 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) chili flakes 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) sea salt freshly-ground black pepper

DRIZZLE:

2 tbsp. (30 ml) Asian sweet chili sauce

2 tsp. (10 ml) fresh lime juice 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) Sriracha hot sauce sea salt, to taste fresh mint, to garnish

Rinse lettuce leaves and dry well. Cut zucchini and red pepper into very small cubes and mince green onions, garlic and ginger. Drizzle a little oil into a wok or frypan over medium-high heat and add the ginger and pork, stirring until the meat has lost most of its pink. Season with salt and pepper. Push to the side and add zucchini, cooking for a minute or two. Add red pepper and green onions and garlic and cook for a minute or two longer. Season with chili flakes and stir in. Remove from the heat. Combine drizzle ingredients, except the mint. Close to serving time, put a dollop of filling in each of the lettuce cups and drizzle each with the sauce. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, chopped or whole. Make 30 or 40, depending on the size.
